THEIR MEMORIES FAIL,
Russell snge md Slorosini Before tho pa-
ctnc Commission

Russell Snge md Murosini Before tho Pm
cfftc Commission.
New YoRE, May 49, Russell Sage, Clio.
vanni P. Morosini, formerly J. Gould's
private .aecretary, and Nathaniel Niles, q
Government director OF the Union Pacific
Railroad, when that company absorbed
the Kansas Pacific and the Denver Pa
cidc roads, were witneeaes to-day before
tho Pacific Railway Commission.
Mr.. Sage, who is supposed to bo one OF
the chief benedciaries Of the deal on.
gineered by Gould, could not recollect
fmuch OF anything ebou. 1t. So far as Mr..
Morosini was concerned, ha increased his
reputation for being unpumpable. Ex.
Director Miles said that his information
that the deal WIS contemplated chad
been derived In the first instance from the
public prints" In conclusion he ad-
mitted that he knew about 1t three or
four months before it was consunmated.
As press and public wers kept in jynor-
ance OF the move until just on the eve Of
its contamination, there seems to be a
chance for Mr.. Niles to reyies his testi.
mony or make some further explanation,
The consolidation took place January
"a, 1850. Fifty daye prior to that, when the
five Government directors made their re.
porto theSecretary OF the interior, this was
all contained in it referring to the subject
During the last year the Kansas Pacific
Railway Company passed into the control
Of this company. Both railroads have

Mr.. Morosini was asked The WAS afraid
OF Jay Gould. He replied that he was
afraid OF nothing. He could net remem.
ber anything that transpired in connection
with the deal. Mr.. Morosini, however,
did remember that $50 worth OF stock rem.
resented by half share belonged to him,
but he could not tell who was the owner
oi the other 1904, 100. He could not re.
member what had become OF the trausfer
books.
Mr.. Sage was not able 10 explain very
satisfactorily how it happened that people
representing millions OF securities should
have made him one Of committee, with
Henry Willard and Sidney Dillon associ.
Rtes. to handle them, when be did no!
have any interest in the pool. He de.
clared he could not tell whether he re.
ceived any Of the 100000 bonds tho poo
divided, nor the terms on which the
almost worthless securities were ex.
changed for marketable bonds. He &C.
knowledged that it was his duty rs trustee
to protect the company in dividing this
money under the consolidation mortgage
but he did not know what method be
adopted.
Mr.. Sage will be given another chance
Tomorrow to tell what ho knows, and
Henry Willard will also bo witness. Jay
Gould vas expected to testify tomorrow
but as he is moving up to 1rvington his
examination was postponed.
